Wrong-mindedness: Requests are split between opposite purposes, so communication becomes incoherent. The mind watches for outcomes that preserve conflict while asking for release from it.
Right-mindedness: The right mind watches desire become simpler instead of polishing contradictory words. Communication grows clear as willingness stops speaking for two masters.
